Ok so I really enjoy giving good reviews! I enjoy helping promote businesses as a business owner myself. We’ve been once a had take out this evening. Our first visit we asked to sit outside as it wasn’t busy, which started a weird energy with the waiter, then we asked questions since we weren’t sure about a couple items. A different gentleman came to help and appeared frustrated as well as short about it. Our food came and it was delicious! The weird part was the frustrated guy seemed to stare and his energy wasn’t kind the rest of the stay. So my Wife and weren’t interested in coming back. Tonight 4-6 months later I suggested take out on my way home from work. We’ll once again the food was really good!! The weird part was the bad attitude and foul looks you get walking in the door. I’m not sure if the management treats the employees like crap or they just have no appreciation that the money helps them pay their pay checks. Doesn’t really matter why they behave the way they do. We’ll probably return for pick up and smile and be kind regardless of their poor attitudes, but surely won’t dine in. Thank you and wish you the best. Smile it goes a long way!

Ordered mixed veggy pecora, lamb jalfresi, lamb korma and buttered naan. Plus a glass of house sauvignon blanc.5th Element could do much better with their wines by the glass. They only offer house wine by the glass. Other wines available by the bottle only. My sauvignon blanc was bottom shelf stuff.First, the mixed veggy pecora plate was very odd. Mostly battered and fried onion pieces of various shapes. There were a few pieces of what I think was fried paneer (similar to cottage or ricotta) cheese. I realize there are many different takes on pecora. This one I would not recommend. The mediocre tamarind or any of the 3 sauces offered couldn't help make this dish any better.The buttered naan was just ok. Should have held the butter or tried one of the other naan selections.Now the main dishes were excellent. The lamb jalfresi was simply a delicious blend of spices with tender lamb chunks and carrots in a tomato cream sauce, mildly hot. The lamb korma also had tender chunks of lamb in a very good curry, medium heat. Highly recommend both.The accompanying rice (basmati I think) was ok. Light and fluffy. I personally like a more medium grain rice with some chewy texture but basmati or jasmine I believe are traditional with most Indian food.Would return for the excellent "curry" dishes.

We’ve always enjoyed this restaurant but notice that the portions have dwindled in size over the last six months. Very small amount of chicken in the Chicken Makhani. Navratan Korma also lacking ingredients.

Excellent tasting ?I wouldn't go back, unrelated to food. Except for the one very nice man the rest of the staff seemed concerning and a few were just staring while we ate, like we made them angry or irritated. We spent near 100.
